Fotheringay |
How often she has gazed from castle windows all |
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall |
With no one to heed her call |
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun |
And in a lonely moment, those embers will be gone |
And the last of all the young birds flown |
Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before |
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door |
But those days will last no more |
Tomorrow, at this hour, she will be far away |
Much farther than these islands, for the lonely Fotheringay |
